This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of north and central
New Mexico.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

There is a Marginal Risk for strong to severe thunderstorms over the
eastern plains of New Mexico from mid-afternoon through the evening
hours. The main threat will be gusty to damaging straight-line winds.
Heavy rain capable of localized flash flooding will also be a concern
across the entire region, especially with slow-moving storms and/or
near and downstream from wildfire burn scars.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

The active monsoon pattern will continue to support elevated storm
coverage and the threat for heavy rainfall capable of flash flooding
on Tuesday, especially in the Upper Gila region and areas along and
east of the central mountains. Burn scars and areas with recent heavy
rainfall will be most susceptible to flash flooding. Isolated strong
or severe storms cannot be ruled out across northeast New Mexico for
Tuesday afternoon and early evening with gusty outflow winds serving
as the primary risk.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are encouraged to report severe weather, rainfall amounts
and any flooding through the National Weather Service Albuquerque web
site at weather.gov/abq or by calling 1.888.386.7637.
